The knife is from the Case Tested XX era which dates it within a range of approximately 1920 to 1940. I'm not familiar with the pattern and the handle material which look they could be onyx or cracked ice so I won't know a valuation range. The knife does look to be in really good condition for its age. If you're going to sell it, you will need to provide commentary on well it works. Does it fire open strongly? Does the blade have play when its open? Does it lock up tightly when closed?

Overall, looks like a super nice knife. ::tu:: ::tu::

I just purchased this case knife. Not for sale. Action opens fast, locks up tight and the lock works. Doesnt look like its ever been sharpened. Alittle staining on the blade, other than that looks functions like new. No cracks or chips of handle. I have never seen this knife before and couldnt find that
much info on it. Thank you for any help.

I believe they were made by Schrade Cutlery Co. for Case.

That's my understanding also. Nice looking knife.
